Подпишите петицию за наказанию убийц коалы

Two Australian men just got a slap on the wrist after bludgeoning and burning a koala alive.

Despite committing a horrific and cruel act towards a protected species, these men will not spend a single day behind bars.

The pair were camping along the Murray River last year when a koala approached their site. To keep the koala away from a pet dog, one of the men hit the koala several times with a machete. They then threw the injured — but still alive — koala on to their campfire and buried its remains.

The men were rightfully charged with disposal of protected wildlife, animal cruelty and aggravated animal cruelty. The judge originally sentenced them to confinement at a Youth Justice Centre, but the pair appealed and the judge settled on giving them community service.

Care2 animal activist Georgina B. believes animal cruelty deserves harsher punishment. Do you agree?
